Linux 2.6.34-rc3
,----[ Quote ]
| Ok, so -rc2 was messy, no question about
| it. I'm too much of a softie to hold back
| some peoples work, so my hard-line -rc1
| didn't work out the way I wanted. But
| _next_ time! For sure this time.
|
| Anyway, from a messy -rc2 we now have a -
| rc3 that should be in much better shape.
| Regressions fixed, and the ShortLog is
| short enough to be worth posting to lkml (-
| rc1 never is, and -rc2 seldom is. It's not
| like -rc2's are generally wondeful, this
| time around wasn't _that_ much different).

Revisited: ZFS, Btrfs and Oracle.
,----[ Quote ]
| This entry is a continuation of one
| published in May of 2009. In fact it is
| relating to a comment made earlier today
| which I responded to in brief words. I am
| now taking the time to offer my viewpoint
| on the whole ZFS licensing under the CDDL
| and the reasoning for it.

Linux adds router denial-of-service prevention
,----[ Quote ]
| The recently completed Linux 2.6.34 merge
| window included a patch to eliminate a type
| of denial-of-service attack against
| routers. The "Generalized TTL Security
| Mechanism" (GTSM) is described in RFC 5082
| as a means to protect routers from CPU-
| utilization attacksâessentially overloading
| the router with bogus Border Gateway
| Protocol (BGP) packets. With the addition
| of a simple socket option, those attacks
| can be easily thwarted.
